    This to me sounds like some world class whining. "They're not showing me anything cool like they said they were gonna!" Well here's your first lesson about the real world sparky. Speak the hell up, let them know you want to work on better projects, but have something in mind before you do. Yeah they're going to use you for slave labor, what the hell do you expect? You're in friggin' high school. Do you have any real knowledge and experience under your belt? NO! You may think you do, but you'll realize in about four years you don't know jack. This coop job is excellent experience though, perhaps not in the sexy tech aspect of the industry, but you are learning the dynamics of a real world work setting, and believe me, that means quite a bit more than you think. You've got to walk before you run. Man, I would have KILLED for a coop position when I was in HS. I didn't have one until I was a sophomore in college. After about 8 months of that I found myself in the same position you're in now. Instead of whining, I looked around and found innovative ways to improve our processes. I sat down, wrote some code and before I knew it, I made myself pretty damn invaluable in that department. You've gotta pay your dues, man, you're not entitled to a goddamn thing. That's what's the matter with kids these days!!! Boy, in my day...
